I’m a bit old-fashioned – I like to see drivers sticking with the same design no matter who they drive for. But it seems almost every driver these days bring out a new design when they change teams and some seem to switch styles almost every race – like Sebastian Vettel last year.

Interesting is that Fernando preserved his own visual identity on his new helmet design — even with that dominant Ferrari´s red around him. In McLaren he let the identity of the team influence his helmet design and that change was really radical.

Generally, I’m not a fan of drivers changing their helmet designs either. In Alonso’s case, there was nothing wrong with the design used when he first entered Formula One – it was much better than recent efforts. That said, I prefer the 2010 edition to last year’s, as it combines the colours of Asturias and Spain nicely.

I suppose helmet designs aren’t particularly relevant now anyway, given the high cockpit sides.

I like it. I like it because it’s not Ferrari-centric; while I liked the way Jenson Button updated his helmet to Brawn colours for 2009, I think it’s be retty boring if eveyone did that. But I like Alonso’s because it has an identity of its own; it’s not a 2009 helmet updated to new colours the way Fisichella’s was when he switched to Maranello

I agree that drivers should keep the same helmets. I love helmets that stand out from the car like Hamilton and Massa. Changing the helmet to match the car like Button/Kimi/Alonso is boring in my opinion.

This is a bit hypocritical but I like Seb changing his, the basic design stays the same but as the Red Bull design is quite boring it’s cool he has a different pattern on the top and the bottom each race.

I usually liked the helmets that go with the color of the car. But, sometimes I do like the helmets that stand out to speak the driver’s identity and this looks like one. I like this color scheme, I will wait to see how it is gonna look when he drives his car.
